Teacher Appreciation Week
Help celebrate our teachers this week with these free appreciation ideas:
- Have your child write a note to their teacher.
- Send a video email to your teacher from your child with a thank you message.
- Have your child draw/color a picture for their teacher.
- Write an email to your child's teacher thanking them.
“To say 'thank you' costs nothing, but it gives someone else a positive psychological boost." Gaelle Devins
